Gapless playback is handled by adjusting buffer timestamps & durations
and by adding GstAudioClippingMeta.
Support for "Frankenstein" streams (= poorly stitched together streams)
is also added, so that gapless playback support doesn't prevent those
from being properly played.

Since 547570cd79 we do not always build
PyGObject and our development environment is broken when trying to use
GStreamer python when built against system PyGObject with the following
error importing Gst in there:
```
12345678** (gst-plugin-scanner:710617): CRITICAL **: 11:45:02.343: can't find gi.repository.Gst
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: cannot import name 'load_overrides' from 'gi.overrides' (/var/home/thiblahute/devel/gstreamer/gstreamer/subprojects/gst-editing-services/bindings/python/gi/overrides/__init__.py)
Factory Details:
```
The approach to fixing it is to implement override `gi` in
`gst-python/gi/` which we add to `PYTHONPATH`) and in there reset the
`gi` module to the right place and we get overrides from paths from
`_GI_OVERRIDES_PATH` we set in `gst-env.py` which points to all the
overrides that will be installed.
